COMPETITION COMMISSION PROVISIONALLY CLEARS BOOKER'S ACQUISITION OF MAKRO
Booker Group plc welcomes today's announcement from the Competition Commission that it has provisionally decided to approve its acquisition of Makro Holding Limited. The Commission has reviewed the transaction and provisionally concluded that it does not expect it to result in a substantial lessening of competition at a national or local level.
The Commission is expected to publish its final report by 24 April 2013, the statutory deadline for completion of its inquiry. Booker will continue to work closely with the Commission throughout the remainder of the inquiry.
